In the documentary Blind Spot, it is said that “if everyone on earth consumed at the same rate as the average American, we would need three planets”(). Globally, if we were to sustain 3 degrees Celsius of warming, the ice sheets of Greenland and West Antarctica would soften and melt, leading to a dramatic change in sea levels within a century. As ice caps melt, they become darker. When they darken, they absorb more sunlight, which causes more ice to melt, causing a vicious cycle. Americans know the harm they cause but don't care. Which will eventually lead to global destruction, similar to that of Easter Island, if we continue on this path. Diamond's explanation of why societies make disastrous decisions is that Americans know climate change is a problem but fail to tell the difference. Only 42% of Americans view climate change as a threat, even though some studies show it is a very serious threat. Americans are failing to make a difference in their daily lives to
